The threat of rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of Maurice Bowling Middle School students Thursday, May 18, as they gathered on a nearby soccer field to celebrate becoming only the second middle school in Kentucky to receive FranklinCovey’s prestigious The Leader In Me Lighthouse recognition.
The Leader In Me is a whole-school transformation model — developed in partnership with educators — that empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st Century, according to a press release.

They began their journey together as kindergarteners in August 2004, and on May 20, the Class of 2017 completed their final chapter at Owen County Schools.
The class of 120 students donned their respective gowns and mortarboards and walked across the stage inside the Owen County High School gymnasium. One by one students received their diplomas from Superintendent Dr. Robert Stafford.
Before the diplomas were handed out, Principal Duane Kline took a few moments to recognize a special achievement.
